36 Perform Bulk Export and Import
In an environment where Oracle Commerce interacts with an external system, you may want to exchange data. Oracle Commerce includes REST web services APIs that allows you to select data items and export or import them in bulk.
This framework allows you to perform large data transfers between different environments or systems of items such as accounts, profiles and promotions.
The following is a list of bulk import and export IDs that are available:
| ID | Comment | Supports Import | Supports Export |
|---|---|---|---|
Profiles |
Both shopper and account-based profile data. | Yes | Yes |
AccountsV2 |
Accounts data. | Yes | Yes |
Products |
Product data. | Yes | Yes |
ProductsV2 |
Product data. This is faster than the Products plugin as this import generates a failedAssociationRecordFile for any associations that failed even though the product updates are successful.
|
Yes | Yes |
Catalogs |
Catalog data. | Yes | Yes |
Inventory |
Inventory data, including location-based inventory. | Yes | Yes |
